Skyview Autopilot 'not installed'

[#74430]

Hi Dynon,

Wiring is correct and both servos are on the network with up to date firmware (16.4.0.9609). Why does status state 'not installed' when attempting to run the calibration? Must the ADAHRS compass be calibrated first?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

Won’t happen until you do that . I’d also make sure you have the V speeds entered too.

Yes from the installation manual....
<snip>
All servos must be properly networked into the SkyView system and IAS tape colors / v-speeds must be configured prior to any servo calibration, testing, or tuning. Reference the Network Setup and Status Section for instructions on how to network the servos into the system and the Airspeed Limitations Section for instructions on how to set IAS tape colors.

Servo Calibration Procedure
Servo calibration cannot be performed without an SV-ADAHRS-200 installed and configured in the SkyView system.

Thanks guys. Yes I've set the IAS tape colours but may need to focus on calibrating the ADAHRS first. Will advise...

So you know, "NOT INSTALLED" in this case means the servo's are not calibrated. I don't particularly like this verbage in the setup menu's as it often leads customers to believe the system isn't seeing their servo's, which it does if they are in the network list with STATUS READY.
Could you not do the calibration procedure? If it won't let you in the servo calibration menu, it will tell you why on the screen. Could be airspeed showing, V speeds not entered, etc. If it is airspeed showing, go to SETUP MENUS > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > ADAHRS CALIBRATION > ZERO PRESSURE IAS / AOA CALIBRATION to zero out the airspeed.
